Description
Combined LHC machine + experiments workshop to: - review the experience from TEVATRON/RHIC/HERA - see what we can expect and optimise from the machine side - see what the LHC experiments require and provide as signals for optimisation Work together to optimise the running conditions aiming at: - safe and stable operation with tolerable backgrounds and radiation - optimisation of the physics potential (maximum integrated luminosity with acceptable background) Notes for writeups and proceedings ===================== It was agreed to prepare written workshop proceedings in "Chamonix workshop" like style, with : 1. Short write ups of each talk by the speaker, about 3 - 5 pages each - to be submitted to the scientific secretaries of the session. In particular for the speakers from outside CERN - please include references or links to relevant talks and papers. 2. Short write up of the discussion sessions by the scientific secretaries - send to the organisers 3. Short written summary by the organisers - H.B. and M.F-L. - and AB-Seminar at CERN on 15 May. http://ab-seminar.web.cern.ch/AB-seminar/talks/AB.Seminar.bgd1.pdf http://ab-seminar.web.cern.ch/AB-seminar/talks/AB.Seminar.bgd2.pdf Format: The format is the same as the Chamonix and Accelerator Conferences, and can be found at http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/AccelConf/JACoW/templates/templates.htm For all contributions, please use the A4 version of this template.
